Free to play against CPU. Must pay small fee to connect to the Gametable service and play others.

The interface is fantastic as most of the implementations at Gametable are. Unfortunately the AI stinks. I gave it two stars; however, I am considering rating this as random. I always destroy the computer. I even tried taking a real long time completing my trip on purpose during one game and the longest connection any of my 3 cpu opponents had was 4 days. One of the opponents only had 1 day connected! In other words they had no two tiles that went together. You can almost do that by accident. I should have counted the amount of turns I took for this experiment, but it was a lot. Depending on what others report it might be worthwhile to move this down to 1 star.
